Priceless, the Burger King Barack Obama Takes Staffers for Burgers After Debt Ceiling Debate

Wow, pens and burgers for those who participated in the debt ceiling debate debacle. White House staffers got to take a lunch with Barack Obama after dealing with long hours for the debt ceiling debate. But wait, were they provided with a healthy meal? Nope, they had burger courtesy of the the Burger King. What would Michelle Obama say?

Congressional leaders will get the pens President Barack Obama used to sign the debt ceiling bill, but White House staffers who logged long hours to secure the deal got lunch with the boss.

Mr. Obama treated a handful of senior White House officials out for burgers at Good Stuff Eatery on Capitol Hill Wednesday afternoon.

“Michelle eats here all the time, but I don’t get out,” Mr. Obama said of his wife, who’s had a burger named after her on the Good Stuff menu.

How ironic, or is it hypocritical? Not only does Obama take his staff out for a non-healthy burger that his wife would most certainly disapprove of … but who does not find it pathetic that after a debate based on over spending and the need to increase the debt ceiling, Obama spends even more $’s for burgers. But it get’s better, one would think that Michelle Obama would be against burgers, at least she is when she tells us how we should eat. Oh the hypocrisy, Michelle actually has a burger named after her, the MICHELLE MELT, Free Range Turkey Burger on the menu at the the restaurant, The Good Stuff. Obama has a burger too, check on the calorie count on this beast.

Wait it gets better, what would Michelle say? Obama even lured an 11 year old boy into the evils of sugar, ice cream and calories by offering the boy a milkshake. Just like all attempts to addict one to something, the first one is always free.

The president was apparently in a good mood, sharing his spread with fellow diners, including 11-year-old Andrew Parker, who said Mr. Obama told him to choose any milkshake he wanted from his table.

Check out Weasel Zipper’s pic of Obama chowing down on a burger, good grief, is he trying to inhale it in one bite?

Remember this Promise from Obama: If Debt Ceiling Limit Deal Passed … It Would Avert a US Economic Crisis

President Barack Obama and his minions pounded the drum that if the debt ceiling crisis was averted with a deal to raise the debt limit, that it would bring stability to the markets and business.

REALLY MR. PRESIDENT?

August 2 came, D-day for the raising of the debt limit where the sky was supposed to fall, the bill was signed into law to raise the debt limit and guess what … stocks fell 256 points!!! What happened to the stability? Obama claimed that the raising of the deb limit to prevent the elderly from not getting their social security checks would sooth the markets and the economy. Barack Obama was once again wrong on the subject matter. Didn’t Obama tie job creation and the economy to the debt ceiling? The Lonely Conservative asks a similar question … “wasn’t the debt deal supposed to save the economy?”It can’t be a coincidence that the markets plummeted on the day that Obama signed the bill into law under the cloak of darkness as no one wanted to be associated with this “sugar coated Satan sandwich”.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 265.87 points, or 2.2%, to 11866.62, on Tuesday. The blue-chip index’s eighth consecutive decline marks its longest losing streak since October 2008. It has lost 6.7% during the skid, dating back to July 22.

Obama and his minions also told us that a bipartisan deal would prevent the US credit rating from falling? WRONG AGAIN BARACK. Credit agency Moody’s presently has outlook for the U.S. grade is now negative. Why? Because the debt ceiling deal did nothing to change the spending habits or really address paying down the debt in any serious manner. It’s not just Moody’s who has an issue and a negative view of the US debt, its all of them. Thanks again Barack Obama.

Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings affirmed their AAA credit ratings for the U.S. while warning that downgrades were possible if lawmakers fail to enact debt reduction measures and the economy weakens.

The outlook for the U.S. grade is now negative, Moody’s said in a statement yesterday after President Barack Obama signed into law a plan to lift the nation’s borrowing limit and cut spending following months of wrangling between Democratic leaders and Republican lawmakers.

It was said by GOP leaders that the debt deal was the best that they could get since they only controlled the House and Democrats controlled the US Senate and the Presidency. If America is serious about paying down the debt and its future, Obama and the Democrats must be thrown out of office in 2012. It is obvious that Obama’s policies are failures and his agenda is far too LEFT for the United States. It is obvious that Obama was and is the lest qualified individual ever to be President and is the worst ever. The only person in America who is happy today is former “misery index President Jimmy Carter.

The issue is not just the debt increase and out of control spending, its the continued poor jobs creation and no growth in the economy. But wait, Obama has reassured the people that he is back focused on jobs. WHAT A COMFORT.

2012 cannot come fast enough.

White House Makes Excuses for Democrats Calling Tea Party Terrorists … “Inappropriate and the Product of An Emotional Discussion”

White House making excuses for referring to Tea Party as terrorists … hoe about a formal apology?

What say you White House press secretary Jay Carney, does President Barack Obama think that it is appropriate discourse for VP Biden to refer to the Tea Party as terrorists? When faced with the question Carney responded with the lame response,that the use of the word “was a product of an emotional discussion, very passionately held positions in this debate, but that does not mean that it’s appropriate.

One reporter today asked White House press secretary Jay Carney about reports that the Veep had used the term, wondering if “the president thinks that’s appropriate discourse?”

“No, he doesn’t, and neither does the vice president,” Carney said. “And I think the vice president spoke to this and made clear that he didn’t say those words, and I think the congressman in question has said that he regrets using them.”

Carney said the use of the word “was a product of an emotional discussion, very passionately held positions in this debate, but that does not mean that it’s appropriate.  And it’s not.  The vice president doesn’t think so; the president doesn’t think so.  Any kind of comments like that are simply not conducive to the kind of political discourse that we hope to have.”

So it was not appropriate, but understandable because of the  emotional discussion. Really? However, what should we expect from one of the most partisan and confrontational Presidents ever. Can you imagine if the roles were reversed and it was the Tea Party that called Biden or Obama a terrorist?

How ridiculous and unacceptable was Biden’s comment? On the very day that Gabby Giffords returned to the House after being shot in the head and nearly killed, the same Gabby Giffords where Barack Obama at the Tuscon Memorial speech said that “WE CAN DO BETTER”. Once again Obama proves he is just words.

President Obama called for a greater civil political discourse in America, if not for ourselves, then for our children and Christina Green, the 9 year old girl who was murdered Saturday at the hands of evil. However, if we are trying to make a world that our children would be proud of, wouldn’t it start by not placing a mountain of debt apon them?

And in Christina…in Christina we see all of our children.  So curious, so trusting, so energetic and full of magic.

So deserving of our love.

And so deserving of our good example.  If this tragedy prompts reflection and debate, as it should, let’s make sure it’s worthy of those we have lost.  Let’s make sure it’s not on the usual plane of politics and point scoring and pettiness that drifts away with the next news cycle.

Is Kelsey “Fraiser” Grammer Considering a Run for Political Office in New York State?

Fraiser for NYC Mayor … maybe.

According to the New York Post, Kelsey Grammer of ‘Cheers’ and ‘Fraiser’ fame is considering a run for political office in the Empire state. Grammer is truly an anomaly when it comes to Hollywood actors. Not only is he a Republican, he is an anti-tax, small-government GOP’er and an activist. Small government Republican, that’s more than I can say for many presently in the Republican party.

The “Frasier” star — a longtime conservative Republican — now says he plans to run for office, perhaps right here in New York, when he gives up acting.

“I have had a great career and extraordinary opportunities,” he told The Post. “But I look at my political aspirations as that last piece of my life — where I hope to do something good for people and pay back a little.”

The leap from actor to politician isn’t that great, the actor believes. Both, he says, require a “narcissistic personality” to succeed.

Good luck to Kelsey Grammer in his political endeavors if he wishes to jump into the arena. After all, if uber-lib Alec Baldwin can imply that he is going to run for NYC mayor … why not Fraiser?
